New Amsterdam Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Broadway Shows

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at NYC’s Historic Venue

The New Amsterdam Theatre, a Broadway gem since 1903, blends historic charm with modern comfort. Home to Disney’s hit productions like Aladdin, its ornate interiors and intimate layout (1,702 seats) ensure an immersive experience. Use this guide to navigate its seating chart and find your ideal view.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra: Closest to the stage (Rows A–M). Center seats offer unobstructed views, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
• Mezzanine: Elevated yet steep (Rows A–E). Front Mezzanine (Row A) provides a panoramic view—ideal for dance-heavy shows.
• Balcony: Most affordable (Rows A–D). Higher rows may feel distant, but sightlines remain clear thanks to the theatre’s design.

Best Seats by Preference

• Budget-Friendly: Balcony front row (A) or Mezzanine sides.
• Optimal View: Orchestra center (Rows E–H) or Mezzanine center.
• VIP Experience: Premium Orchestra (Rows A–D) includes plush seating and easy lobby access.

Seat View Tips

Avoid extreme side seats in the Orchestra (Sections 1/16) for musicals, as staging may be partially obscured. Mezzanine overhangs slightly affect Balcony sightlines in Row D.

Luxury & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private boxes seat 4–6 guests with exclusive lounge access.
• Wheelchair Spaces: Available in Orchestra and Mezzanine, with companion seating.
• Audio Assistance: Hearing devices provided at guest services.

Pro Tip

For Aladdin, prioritize Mezzanine center to appreciate the full spectacle of the magic carpet scene. Book early—midweek shows often have better seat availability.
